EDUCATIONAL TOYS
Age group: lower and upper primary
Your child is developing his own interests while learning from both his teachers and peers. Some kids like doing science experiments (with your help); others love making beaded jewelry or playing with dolls. Friends are becoming increasingly important, and your child will start asking for a particular toy (if he hasn’t already) because “everyone else has it.” This is the age when kids often become huge fans of computer games, but they also enjoy having their friends over to play sports, card games, and board games.
Kids this age enjoy outdoor sports as well as scooters, bicycles, and in-line skates. They acquire adult-like interests, abilities, and hobbies and may display a passion by becoming a collector. Girls still love doing crafts and writing in diaries, and boys find computer and video games irresistible.
